Here is an advertisement beyond all good taste. I'm surprised that Good Housekeeping and Dr. Oz participated in such a vulgar and lowbrow teaser campaign. And I can't believe that Ellen DeGeneres had any knowledge of how she would be presented in this pathetic campaign. As you can see, this ad gives the appearance of a scandal involving one of America's most beloved personalities. It doesn't even the slight hint of humorous put-on, which is what makes it so offense. One's first reaction is disbelief and a kind of horror that any such scandal could involve Ellen, much less anything involving deception. Click the arrow and you quickly learn that Ellen's secret is a beauty secret as to how she maintains her flawless and glowing complexion. It's kind of hard to tell who's pushing this tacky ad: Good Housekeeping? Dr. Oz. The makers of this supposed "miracle" formula. I totally expect to read at some later date that Ellen was not completely aware of how she was being used in this repulsive campaign.
